Chapter 238 Assassination

"call out--"

The sound of sharp arrows piercing the air sounded, and the carriage was forced to stop.

"Protect Your Majesty and Madam!" shouted the attendant of the carriage.

There were sounds of fighting outside the carriage, and Jiang Shu was inside guarding against the sharp arrows flying into the carriage.

After blocking a flying arrow with a soft arrow, Jiang Shu jumped out of the carriage decisively.

The space of the carriage is too small, so it is difficult to use it. Jiang Shu secretly said.

"Madam, go back quickly and don't come out." Someone said.

"Your Majesty is injured, I have to come out to buy him time." Jiang Shu said nonsense seriously.

The attendant was a little surprised and said, "Your Majesty, is he injured?"

"He has been sick and weak in recent days, and he was accidentally hit by an arrow while he was resting. We need to fight quickly and don't delay here." Jiang Shu said.

Sure enough, Su Qing's movements were so fast that even ordinary people couldn't see them, otherwise it would be difficult to make up this lie. Jiang Shu secretly said.

"But madam, you..."

Before the attendant finished speaking, Jiang Shu had already raised her sword to block a sharp arrow that was about to penetrate the attendant's head.

“If you can’t see, listen with your ears.”

After Jiang Shu finished speaking, he joined in the chaos.

After the fighting gradually calmed down, Prime Minister Yang came unhurriedly with his troops.

"..."

Jiang Shu wiped off the blood on her face, picked up a sharp arrow on the ground and threw it at Prime Minister Yang.

Prime Minister Yang tilted his head to avoid it, and the arrow scratched Prime Minister Yang's face, causing blood to flow from it.

"Madam, is she murdering the old minister?" Prime Minister Yang asked.

"Sorry, I thought it was enemy support." Jiang Shu said unceremoniously.

"The news of the assassination of Madam and the Imperial Master has just come, and the old minister hastily led his troops back. It seems that the old minister is late." Prime Minister Yang said.

"You might as well not come." Jiang Shu said while wiping the blood on the soft sword.

Isn't it the assassin you sent here, but he still has the nerve to pretend here? Jiang Shu said silently.

"Are Madam and the Imperial Master injured? Do you need me to ask for an imperial doctor?" Prime Minister Yang asked, suppressing the impatience in his heart.

"No, I don't bother the Prime Minister. Please give way to the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister's soldiers and don't block the road here." Jiang Shu said.

Seeing that Prime Minister Yang was still standing there, Jiang Shu waved the soft sword in her hand. The soft sword made a harsh sound accompanied by the cold light. The blade pointed at Prime Minister Yang with murderous intent. Prime Minister Yang subconsciously took two steps back.

Jiang Shu put away her sword and turned towards the carriage.

"Madam, the groom is on his way here with his new horse. Please wait a moment, madam," the attendant said.

"Row."

"By the way, Madam, the Imperial Master is injured. Do you need to send someone to the palace to ask for a doctor?" the attendant asked again.

"No need, the Imperial Master is not seriously injured," Jiang Shu said.

In just a few words, the voice was neither soft nor serious, and it just fell into the ears of Prime Minister Yang.

Seeing Jiang Shu lift up a corner of the curtain and enter, it happened that outsiders couldn't see the angle inside, which further confirmed Prime Minister Yang's suspicion.

"Withdraw." Prime Minister Yang ordered.

The noise in the street was finally cleared away, and the carriage slowly moved forward.

What a fool. Jiang Shu secretly said.

I'm afraid there will be another verbal dispute tonight.

It wasn't until evening that Su Qing returned to Zuixiang Tower.

Jiang Shu heard Su Qing jump in from the window and joked: "I didn't expect that the owner of Tangtang Zuixiang Building would actually climb in through the window one day."

"There are so many people downstairs, what can I do?" Su Qing replied helplessly.

"I did as you said and gave Prime Minister Yang the illusion that you were injured. The emperor will probably look for you tonight," Jiang Shu said.

"Well, thank you for your hard work." Su Qing said.

"Why do you do this? Didn't you agree to let nature take its own course?" Jiang Shu yawned and asked, holding her chin.

"It's not a trivial matter for the Su family's secrets to be exposed. The Su family seems to be a thousand-year-old family that has lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests. In fact, the Su family is either working for me in a dark place, or they hide their surname and control all important business lines in the country for me. . I must take action to stop them, and if I take action, it means that God has intervened in human affairs, and immeasurable changes may occur in the future because of me, so I want to hide this immutable factor now. said.

"So you want to separate Prime Minister Yang and the Emperor?" Jiang Shu asked.

"Exactly." Su Qing said.

"Then come on, I'll go to bed tonight and wait until you come back." Jiang Shu said.

It happened that at this time, Nanny Li stood in front of the door and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, please speak to me."

"I'm leaving." Su Qing said to Jiang Shu.

"Walk slowly without sending."

"Madam, the Emperor also invites you to come over." Nanny Li continued.

"Me?" Jiang Shu pointed at herself in confusion and asked.

"Exactly."

"..."

After the two got on the carriage, Jiang Shu complained: "I won't let anyone sleep at night."

"Why does the emperor want to see you suddenly?" Su Qing said speechlessly.

"Who are you asking me to ask?" Jiang Shu said angrily.

"Forget it, let's make peace with it now. I apologize for bringing you into this." Su Qing pulled Jiang Shu into her arms and comforted her.

After the carriage entered the palace, the originally closed palace door opened, and the two were allowed in after a routine inspection.

When entering the imperial study, Concubine Yang happened to come out of the study.

"I have met the Emperor's Master and his wife." Concubine Yang saluted.

"I have discussed it with the Emperor. Sister Jiang and I have not seen each other for a long time and miss her very much. The Emperor has promised me that Sister Jiang will have a chat with me in my palace first and then go to meet the Emperor." Concubine Yang said knowingly. He picked up Jiang Shu's hand and said, "Let's go, Sister Jiang."

Jiang Shu was suddenly taken away by Concubine Yang. She couldn't say anything and had no choice but to leave.

"Empress, we haven't seen each other for ten years, and there's nothing to reminisce about. Why did the empress suddenly pull me out?" Jiang Shu asked after walking to a place where no one was around.

"Don't ask in a hurry. Let's go back to my dormitory first." Yang Guifei said.

"..."

"By the way, the roads in this palace are not easy to walk at night. I pity your blindness. Please come back with me in my sedan chair." Yang Guifei said.

"Thank you so much, empress." Jiang Shu sighed helplessly and saluted.

"Come, get up and drive back to the palace." Concubine Yang's personal maid ordered.

After the sedan chair was lifted and landed, Jiang Shu followed Concubine Yang into the palace.

"Empress, if you have something to say, just say it directly. I don't like to beat around the bush." ​​Jiang Shu saluted.

"Sit down. Do you know why the emperor summoned you tonight?" Concubine Yang said leisurely as she sat on the concubine's couch.

"I don't know." Jiang Shu sat down and answered honestly.

"He wants to make you a princess, what do you think?" Yang Guifei said.

"Can you please stop dragging me into this weird thing?" Jiang Shu said, holding her forehead.

"That's not possible. Who told you to be the wife of the Imperial Master?" Yang Guifei said.

"..."

Jiang Shu's face looked a little bad. After taking a few deep breaths, she slowly asked: "Ten years ago, you said you wanted me to save you. Does it still count?"
